Manta ray dance 

We got to do a night snorkel with them a few weeks ago in Hawaii and it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever done! Thank you for filming this.

One of the most wonderful things I have seen in my entire life, thank you.

Sin lugar a dudas el animal mas "elegante" que uno puede encontrase en el Oceano !!! Esos movimientos, es INCREIBLE !!! Excelente video !!!! Soy buceador, pero aun no he podido estar en una situacion como esta !! Felciitaciones !

Ever since i was six i loved these manta rays i think they are very beautiful in my eyes

es increible este video es simplemente espectacular como son de maravillosos estos enormes animales acuaticuaticos de verdad es uno de los videos mas bellos que he visto

Thank you for this great video. I love Manta rays. They look like they enjoyed the company.

Spectacular. Manta rays are the greatest creatures on earth!

For my money they're one of the most elegant yet fearsome looking creatures on the planet. Just beautiful.

I love manta rays!!!!!!! This is amazing!!!!!

Ohhhhh! So Beautiful!

wow absolutely an amazing video, they are truly amazing creatures they have always been one of my favorites. There was only one problem with this whole video...you didnt bring me along. Really though it is amazing footage and thanks for sharing.

AWESOME!!! Must have been an exciting experience.

Fantastic Creature!, I was so fascinated with manta rays that I even produce a movie with a manta and a boy in a paradise Island, and I am still so impressed that I may start to produce another feature film with more mantas. Find the trailer in "cinevieques" , or in "Tito and the manta ray".

Beautiful creatures - makes me want to learn to scuba dive. thanks for sharing

Thanks for your reply, yes,I think there are more manta points. this movie was filmed at south male atoll

I wish I could swim and not be afraid of deep water so I could swim with them :( Thanks for the upload elayani - we need to tell to as many people as we can that these beautiful creatures are an endangered speices.

Fascinating creatures!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!

once i went to marinne lab in key largo and saw one of these...they were so graceful

I can't breathe watching this. It's too beautiful. I can't wait to dive with these alien sea creatures again. Everyone should do it once in their lives at least.

Really cool! Is this like a special place where you can swim with manta ray's? GO MANTARAY :D

I was listening to "Short Trip Home" by Joshua Bell, Mike Marshall and Sam Bush, as the video played. Beautiful.

i'll be sailing this summer. i'm afraid of water but at least i'm trying. would be cool to see a manta in real life though :p

...... There are many Manta ray dance videos on RU-vid

Their so...elegant...

did you film this? if so, you were truly blessed that day. their incredible, my favorite sea creature

Muchas gracias

how big are these things cuz i think i read sumwhere they could be the size of small planes

Yes , cleaning station .Probably 'rush hour' for the 'shower' at one point in time we count 14 mantas.

Mantas are extremely curious around humans, and are fond of swimming with scuba divers. Although they may approach humans, if touched, their mucus membrane is removed, causing lesions and infections on their skin. They often surface to investigate boats without engines running.

Was this a cleaning station? Why were these mantas attracted to this point?

i've been there too, magnific...

AMAZING

wow . are they really that giant ? i thought that they didn't com that size

Yes - that's right, hansjeir. This is a scene from "Finding Nemo", right? "Let's name the oceans, the oceans, the oceans..."

These creatures are amazing. I just watched them for the first time on an amazing programme called natural world on bbc iplayer. They are so intelligent and beautiful its a real bad thing that people are killing them for chinese medicine and food. Its amazing how small fish get rid of their dead skin cells and parasites and heal wounds from sharks! How amazing is God's creation! I'm blown away.

I want to be a baby manta. Then I would be loved by all.

They are huge!!

I love this video!!! @RyanIsTheOwnage: Me Too :-) @cleffaruru "These could be sting rays or devil(eagle) rays": If you really think these could be stingrays, I suggest you sue your marine biology professor for not doing his job!

there's no need to shout. I can't find any website that says a devil ray is a separate species from a manta ray, so i'd be interested to see the information you found on google. several different sources say that manta birostris is the latin for both devil ray and manta ray, so maybe if you told me the latin name for your separate species, not manta but devil ray, i'd be a bit more open to persuasion. I'm not being arrogant, I've seen a good deal of reliable information that backs me up.

is it dangerous?

Thank you , Manta Point dive site @ N.Male Atoll . Time ; about 08:00 AM

Magic

Nice video. Such beautiful creatures. Just read this morning some poor woman was killed when a ray jumped out of the water (usually to clear bacteria and parasites from their bodies) and knocked her back on her boat and whacked her head. Thought I'd share.

WOW!

They look much like the Manta Fighter off Uridium =)

hey did you know if you are caught tring to ride one of those by the couastguard or other autoritive figures at sea you can be imprisoned for a loooooooooong time.

@ Ididnotdothismyself: I don't think those are lampreys...they look more like remoras to me.

Thank you, Please search youtube for "Manta Ray Inspiration"

lol these arent manta rays. Mantarays have rounded wings as these have pointed ones. These could be sting rays or devil(eagle) rays

Thx

no no huge ass manta rays andd i think they're cute

Those aren't spotted eagles. For one thing, spotted eagles have closed tipped "noses", not open mouths with little "flaps".

ye i lyk sting rays coz they r more interested in the camera LOL!

He's right... Devil rays are the same as manta rays, just different name...

I just read on wiki that you shouldn't pet them cause they may get infections... hopefully no one suffered from that though.. maybe the guides forgot to tell you that

im like a manaray i only want first place?

manta rays seriously freak me out

@greeneyedwriter89 I think so too.

2004 Summer Olympics

@TheLilu2006 The are generally gentle creatures :D I wanna ride one :D

That's some luck to meet so many manta rays, just one is to exciting to me :|

underwater mind-blow

devil ray is another name for manta ray, they're the same.

do u mean Steve Irwin???

yep theyre definately devil rays

huge ass aliens!!!! creeps me out...

I have recurring nightmares of them and when I go to tje aquarium I have nervous breakdowns. I can't stand fish tanks that are larger than myself.

taht wud be pretty creepy at first to have such a large creature

That was a STING RAY, these are MANTA RAYS.

people call these mantas devil rays because the horn like entenas on it's head!

Used my Olympus C8080 .

why do you say that?

i dont have to . i am majoring in marine biology. i would know.

Ela, i just got back from Manihi. We had a fabulous cleaning station, but only 5 at a time. Check out my video called "Sailing Mantas".

fishy swim swim fishy swim swim

2:03 My computer turned green. :)

no thats like the bigest they can get

These are manta rays... Another name for a manta ray is a devil ray.

If you're a scientist, why is your grammar wrong?

@Bambooandlotus

and if it was it was a sting ray not a manta ray tht killed him

@10samm10 they can grow to 25 feet!

@mackawack12346 hahahhahahahhahahaha

google it

He's just written that cuz he wants to tell everyone 9-11 is fake. I bet he's going around as many videos as possible repeating the same message just to get noticed...

so how come they both have the same latin name? if you stop being so arrogant and actually bother to look this up you'll see they're the same.

They're not really dancing either, are they? Just drifting about aimlessly sucking up plankton - or whatever Manta rays do.

nope

FAKE
